After more than 30 years of service to Pierce Law, Paula Jewell retires from her position as Access Services Supervisor in the Pierce Law Library today. For over 25 years Paula has kept the Circulation Desk, reserve collection and library publications working like a well-oiled machine and has managed to provide a tone of helpful service while carefully enforcing the library’s policies. Paula has also served as editor of Library Notes and more recently E-Notes. In addition to her work in the library, Paula also served on the Pierce Law Conduct Code Committee and two consecutive terms as Pierce Law Staff Moderator. After years of opening the library at 7:45 a.m. every weekday, of training hundreds of student workers, of enforcing library rules and collecting overdue fines with a smile and making the library a better place for everyone, Paula will now have time to enjoy the things she loves: her family, gardening, cooking, reading, and art projects. Thanks, Paula, for your years of dedicated service to Pierce Law. —Judy Gire
